The veteran wing also knocked down five 3-pointers with four boards and one assist in 38 minutes. He's been all over the place this season, and he's still only averaging 13.8 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.6 treys over his last five games even when you include this monster night. We don't love his rest-of-season outlook with his team tanking, but he's still a decent specialist in triples and steals. Dec 9 - 12:38 AM

Wes Matthews played through his calf injury on Monday and hit 7-of-12 shots and 5-of-6 3-pointers for 19 points, two rebounds and two assists in 33 minutes of a 115-108 loss to the Spurs.

Matthews managed to avoid missing time with the ailment and came through with a nice game tonight. He hasn't exactly been killing it, but is worth owning due to his 3-pointers and steals potential. Nov 27 - 11:14 PM

Wesley Mathews (right calf tightness) will play on Monday vs. the Spurs.

He was originally questionable, but the veteran SG/SF will give it a go and there's no word of any restrictions. If you can live with his poor field goal percentage, he's worth owningfor his 3-pointers (2.5) and steals (1.4). Nov 27 - 8:21 PM

This is the first we're hearing of a calf injury for Matthews, but with Dallas sitting on a 5-15 record, there's not much incentive for him to push through the injury. If he's out, Yogi Ferrell would likely slide back into the starting five, and guys like Dennis Smith Jr. and Harrison Barnes would see a slight uptick in usage.

Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) has been ruled out for the Mavs' upcoming two-game road trip at Golden State on Thursday and at San Antonio on Saturday.

In case you missed it, he also won't play Tuesday vs. the Spurs, so Yogi Ferrell figures to earn another start tonight with J.J. Barea and Devin Harris seeing some increased opportunity with the second unit. After the road trip, the Mavs come back home for a game against the Suns on Monday, and for now, we'll be considering DSJ questionable for that one.

Seth Curry (leg) remains without an official timetable to return and acknowledged that surgery is an option that's still on the table.

"It's like a couple week by couple week situation. It's a tricky situation," said Curry. "There's a chance [I'll need surgery], yeah. The path I'm on right now, the MRI shows it's gotten a little better. But there's a chance (he could need a procedure). It's a tricky situation and hard for me to say. It's very frustrating. Recovery-wise, I get out there and work out and feel OK, and it'll bother me the next day." With no clear return date in sight, Curry belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.

The Mavericks have not provided a timetable, but coach Rick Carlisle said on Dec. 6 that he expects Noel to miss "several weeks." He's been in the doghouse anyways, so his absence won't have an impact on the rotation. Once Noel is healthy again, it's unclear if the Mavs will give him a chance to play, but you'd have to think he's a candidate to be moved at the deadline.
